Methods： Forty-eight Sprague Dawley （ SD ） rats, weighing 190-280 g and regardless sex, were randomly divided into three groups, sixteen in each. After fat transplantation, the rats were treated with plasmid DNA encoding rhVEGF protein （the experimental group ）, plasmid DNA （ the negative group） and normal saline （ the blank control group ）, respectively. At 3, 7, 15 and 30 days after transplantation, the rats were killed and the grafts were weighed, respectively. Histopathological changes were evaluated. Microvessel density and the expression of VEGF were examined by immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting. Results： The weights of the negative and blank control groups were significantly reduced on the 7th, 15th and 30th days compared with those of the experimental group. The expression of VEGF and the microvessel density in the experimental group were significantly higher than the other two groups during the latter periods. Conclusion： The plasmid encoding VEGF can induce expression of VEGF and angiogenesis in fat grafts and reduce the absorption of free fat grafts.展开更多

Stem-cell-enriched breast fat transplantation did not yield better results than grafting based on the WAL (water-jet assisted liposuction) technique in terms of volume persistence. To overcome inter-individual variation, intra-individual comparison was performed. Material and Methods: Four women underwent breast augmentation utilizing WAL fat transplantation with and without ex-vivo ASC isolation performed with the Multistation System. All patients underwent two fat transplantations for breast augmentation. In the first procedure, the left breast was augmented with stem-cell-enriched fat grafts and the right with plain WAL fat grafts. In the second surgery, the lipofilling was performed the other way round to exclude intra-individual differences in fat cell persistence. Results: MRI volumetry revealed a mean volume survival of 56% of the whole (watery) graft in the breasts with WAL only and 56% in the breasts with WAL and stem cell enrichment. While centrifugation of the WAL grafts demonstrated an average adipose content of 68%, the average volume survival of the adipose tissue itself was 83% in the breasts augmented with WAL only and 83% in those with WAL with stem cell enrichment. Conclusion: Breast augmentation by means of lipofilling using WAL alone is faster and more inexpensive, carrying a lower risk of contamination and offering an equal take rate. We do not see any advantage in stem-cell-enrichment in cosmetic fat transplantation to the breast.展开更多

But severely steatotic liver grafts are associated with a high risk of intraoperative and postoperative complications. Accurate assessment of fat content of donor livers and monitoring of the extent of steatosis in recipients are required for liver transplantation. The present study aimed to determine the correlation between liver echogenicity and fat content, and to evaluate the use of an ultrasonic integrated backscatter system（IBS） in the assessment of changes in fat content after liver transplantation.METHODS： Seventy-nine consecutive patients receiving liver grafts from living donors were evaluated in our center. Of these recipients, 67 survived for more than two years and were included in this study. Each liver graft was evaluated with IBS and ultrasound before operation and the fat content was estimated. The fat content of the grafts in the recipients was again assessed with ultrasound at 18 months after surgery.RESULTS： A correlation was detected between each graft＇s IBS value and its fat content（P=0.001）. The IBS value in fatty grafts with various degrees of steatosis was significantly decreased in 3（P=0.02）, 12, 15 and 18（P=0.001） months after orthotopic liver transplantation. The IBS value returned to normal in all patients in 18 months after liver transplantation.CONCLUSIONS： Decreased fat content in steatotic grafts can be observed in all recipients. Ultrasonic IBS is useful in determining the steatotic degree of grafts in donors as well as in monitoring the grafts after liver transplantation.展开更多
